When rounding decimals you should underline the number you want to round.
Then, look to the number on its right. If that digit is 4 or less you round down an
d keep the underlined number. If the number to the right of the underlined digit
is 5 or more you round up and and add one to the underlined digit.
Here are some examples- 4.76=5.00
7.38=7.40
5.83=5.80 7.29=7.00
When should I round
You should round decimals when you have a mean like 6754.8923419 and you just want a plain whole number, so you would have 6755.
This simplifies your answer.
